300 million year old rock by Lauren Becker |
Good article on the conflict between science and
fundamentalist Christianity (or anyone who answers science
questions with Godidit) from the viewpoint of a science
interpreter who has taught at museums and parks around the
country.

Not all Christians believe that the earth is just 6000 years old. It was
Bishop James Ussher who calculated this nonsense based on adding up ages of
biblical people.
While Paul (a Christian, in the 1st century) said that we should not take
part in debates about the genealogy in the bible, _most_ Christians are
misled by believing (in fact) that biblical genealogy is complete and 'meant
to calculate years'.
I myself take them only for a shortened list of names up to Jesus, just to
show that Jesus and Abraham were in one line of geneology.

I know. It's obscenely absurd that the NPS would even consider such a
travesty.
